Le Service de Gestion

What Le Service de Gestion does

Le Service de Gestion is a privately held French B2B service provider founded in 2014 by Jérôme Blain and headquartered in La Chapelle-sur-Erdre (near Nantes). The company offers outsourced rental property management ("gestion locative externalisée") to real estate agencies across France that either lack the mandatory "Carte G" professional property management license or do not have sufficient portfolio scale to operate a profitable in-house management desk, a threshold the company cites at approximately 150 lots. Through a "mise en nourrice" outsourcing model, Le Service de Gestion acts as the licensed property manager handling administrative, financial, technical, legal, and contentious aspects of rental management on behalf of partner agencies, which retain ownership of their managed lots and can reclaim them at any time at no cost.

The core offering is complemented by outsourced property accounting, a GLI Totale rent guarantee insurance product (2.50% TTC per month, with coverage triggered from the first month of default versus traditional three-month waiting periods), a Zelok-powered online client portal for partner agencies and end landlords/tenants, legal assistance, and an integration training program for partner agencies. The underlying technology is an operational management platform built around process standardization, dedicated account manager pairs per partner, and integration with agency workflows via the Zelok portal rather than a software-as-a-service product.

Revenue is generated through a revenue-share arrangement with partner agencies (recommended management fee rate of 5.90% HT / 7.08% TTC, billed monthly), with Le Service de Gestion retaining a portion of the management fee collected from landlord clients, supplemented by GLI insurance premiums. The go-to-market is channel-driven via partnership conventions with French real estate agencies — including national franchises such as Guy Hoquet, Century 21, Stéphane Plaza, and Remax, alongside independents like Rosine Immo West, Resideo Immobilier, ACE Immobilier, Cabinet Blouin Immobilier, and Immo Nantes — supported by inside sales (Calendly-driven appointments, callback requests, brochure downloads), content marketing via an extensive blog, industry events (Salon RENT), and a partner referral program. The company remains founder-led and bootstrapped, with Isabelle Lanthony appointed Director in 2024.

Core offering

Le Service de Gestion is a French business-to-business service provider that delivers outsourced rental property management (gestion locative externalisée) and outsourced real estate accounting to French real estate agencies (agences immobilières). The company supplies dedicated, paired property managers who handle tenant relations, rent collection, accounting, regulatory compliance, and dispute handling on behalf of partner agencies, complemented by a 'GLI Totale' rent guarantee insurance product underwritten from the first month of default. Its services enable real estate agencies to extend a full property management offering to their landlord clients without holding the required 'Carte G' license or building an in-house management back office.

Product overview

LE SERVICE DE GESTION is a B2B service provider offering outsourced rental property management ('gestion locative externalisée') to real estate agencies across France. The core product is the mise en nourrice (outsourced management) service, through which the company acts as the property manager for partner agencies that lack the mandatory Carte G or sufficient portfolio scale (~150 lots). The primary product is complemented by two additional modules: the outsourced accounting service (La comptabilité immobilière externalisée) and the Garantie Loyers Impayés Totale (GLI) insurance at 2.50% TTC/month, which guarantees rent payment from the first month of default. Supporting services include an online client portal (via Zelok), a dedicated manager pair for each partner, legal assistance, and an onboarding training program. The company targets real estate agencies seeking to add property management to their service offering without internal capability.
